Yesterday, daughter's best friend spent the day with us. (How exhausting! ) I took them to a park and later to Roskilde Museum. It's a very nice, interactive museum with lots of sounds and mood lighting, and the girls were startled more than once by sudden church bells or ominous music. (Fun for mom! ) I have free entrance because of my collaboration with the city tourism office. I brought my tripod this time to get the light right.
Here are some skulls from a sacrificial site almost 2000 years ago:

A legend has it that once upon a time, Roskilde was a small village with a giant Serpent coiled around it. The Serpent required its occasional meal -- a human sacrifice. The villagers then raised a special Bull to fight the Serpent. It's all a parable about Christianity versus the pre-Christian times, but here's an auroch, which may have sparked collective imagination:
-
-
Roskilde rose to be the most important Nordic city in the Middle Ages, with the seat of the Bishop, 5 monasteries, and 13 parish churches. As such, it was a seat of power, and most Danish monarchs were laid to rest over the years in Roskilde Cathedral (a tradition that is maintained to this day).

Things took a dramatic turn since the 1660s. The seat of Bishop was moved to Copenhagen, and Roskilde, having lost its prominence in the making of Danish history -- and much of its business, turned into a provincial town.

Big is good. So that when he says you can't go with and you really really want to go with, you can climb into the suitcase and tag along.Maybe....
We need a smaller suitcase though. The one we have is far too big most of the time!
For sure.
Hmmmmm, it seems that power is a fickle thing. Really beautiful pictures btw.Yesterday, daughter's best friend spent the day with us. (How exhausting!

Hey guys
Goood Mornooning Everyone.
We had some rain overnight, but nothing this morning. It is however still overcast. Stephen is away for a couple of days, he is expected back late thursday evening. So I have the house relatively to myself for a while. And I definitly have the whole bed to myself. Yay I can spread out.
I have caught up again, and must now get back to work. I hope everyone is having a fantastic Wednesday so far. On a side note, I just found out:
